Dalton?

Just kidding, I actually don't mind Dalton - he never really got the chance he deserved.
Dalton was miles ahead of his time. Both of his movies are fantastic.
Dalton is great, although at times it feels like his interpretation of the character is at odds with what the script or director were trying to do. There's an odd Jekyll and Hyde feel to his films at times where some of the time they go for a more grounded and gritty approach (which works well) and others they feel afraid to let go of some of the lighter and more foolish aspects that the series had developed up to that point.
That's always been the key to the Bond formula for me, get the balance right between the character being a brutal, efficient blunt instrument and a witty womaniser who deals with everything with a wink and a wry smile and you're on to a winner. For me only Connery ever really nailed that, and even then only in a handful of his movies.
